Google's Quantum AI team revealed that a future quantum computer might derive bitcoin private keys from public keys in about nine minutes, threatening transaction security. This vulnerability mainly affects roughly 6.9 million bitcoins held in addresses with exposed public keys, including early coins and reused addresses. While bitcoin mining remains secure, the ability to crack keys undermines ownership guarantees, unlike Ethereum which is moving toward quantum-resistant cryptography. Bitcoin has yet to adopt such protections, leaving a significant portion of its supply at risk if powerful quantum computers emerge.
